Each entry includes a black and white photograph as well as pertinent information about each piece of furniture for ordering. Besides introducing the variety of kits on the market, the author gives hints and instructions on glueing, sanding, staining, finishing, waxing, painting, and more. Whether your goal is to build an 18th-century Italian harpsichord or a simple Shaker candle sconce, the rewards are the same: cost, quality, convenience, and that sense of accomplishment that allows you to say, ''I did it myself!''
